PowerPoint Presentation - Stochastic Forcing of Ocean Variability by the North Atlantic Oscillation

Conclusions

•Stochastically forced variability can be as large as intrinsic variability.
•Nonmodal interference dominates perturbation growth during first 10-14 days.
•Significant deep circulations due to rectified topographic Rossby waves.
•NAO is optimal for inducing variance on subseasonal timescales.
